An Email Brought Joy

I received a email today that I found rather humorous...I know I have a sick sense of humor, but it brought me joy today.


Apparently (whether true or not) a little girl was asked to draw a picture of what she wanted to be when she grows up...


This was her drawing...

(Here's the reply the teacher (Mrs. Jones) received the following day)

Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in. Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

The Pet Store Brings Joy!

I walked into a store that my husband built just over 23 years ago. In fact He had to keep a pager with him because I was pregnant and due at any moment while he was doing that job. So today I walk through that door, with the "baby" who is 23. He was looking to purchase what he needs to start his first salt water tank. As I looked at the tanks that held these beautiful (and expensive) animals, I recalled some of the most beautiful tanks we had. With Anenemes, live coral, star fish (Yes back when they were star fish and not SEA STARS.) We didnt have very much back then, and we would save to buy the most exotic fish (and pray for their survival).

Funny how the small things in life can be so easily forgotten. So today, walking into that store was like taking a step back in the past, where I recalled JOY!
